Norton is reporting that my system is infected and indicates that it
must be manually removed. They further provide a removal tool file.
All provided instructions however are very hard to follow. Any
practical advice on removing this infection will be greatly
appreciated & thanks ! ....

Access this, get a free CD, install it, and your troubles are over.

Maybe you should tell us which virus was detected...
Guess the posts about installing Ubuntu are not really the solution you
expect...
I had a similar problem and could solve it by running the free Malwarebytes
anti-malware. Detected and removed lot of registry entries and programs.
Hope it works for you too !
And by the way, I also removed Norton...

I would suggest to scan your system using other anti-virus scanner to make
sure Norton won't pull your leg.

Try something like Kaspersky or ZoneLarm etc.. *not* AVG which is probably
the worst anti-virus program, or it probably worse than Norton.
 
You're way, way, WAY ahead of me. I'm a mere mortal with one drive,
OS, etc. I finally tried the removal tool after disabling System
Restore and disconnecting from the Internet. It first indicated that
the virus/Trojan was removed, then on repeated use indicated that the
system was not infected. Looks good so far but have to see what Norton
reports on the next full system scan.

Many thanks for your informed comments, etc. ...

Personally I find the best method to be pulling the drive
and mounting it in another system, or booting another drive
or partition to run a different OS installation. Main thing
